They Get Me Around

Random photograph of my feet.  Like I said, they get me around. :)  Also?  I've noticed I have a thing for photographing feet....

Abstract Art?

Green Leaves

I know that it's the end of August.  I may be jumping the gun.  I'm already feeling a bit sad that summer is over.  (School has started so it's over, okay?) Which means that pretty soon as this beautiful green ALIVE nature is going to gone.  Don't get me wrong, fall is beautiful. Winter is drab and cold and dreary and boring and cold and drab and dreary and boring....and cold and drab and dreary and boring.  I'm going to miss the green.

The Never Ending Story of My Life

This is the job that is NEVER finished.  I know, I know.  I whine about this particular chore a lot.

Sitting and Waiting

The start of the school year means many things.  One of those things for me is sitting in the parking lot waiting for the girls.  Only this year?  Lela gets out so quickly I beat the traffic!  It's refreshing, actually. :)

"Oh that's cooooool!"

That's exactly what Lela said when she saw this image.  Then a bunch of questions ensued about how I "did that".  She has always had an interest in photography but recently since she has aquired a 'real camera' (her daddy gave her a point and shoot that's NOT a fisher price) she has gotten serious about her shooting. She is photographing EVERYTHING.  I love it.  Next thing you know she'll have a DSLR on her wishlist. 

Biker Becca

Steve wanted a picture of his bike.  Becca wanted to sit on the bike.  They both got what they wanted.

My Fountain

Michelle gave this to me.  I love it.

Texture on my Interior

Lifesavers

I Have no Idea, I Just Find it Interesting

Best Friends

Becca and Maddie are best friends.  They went to gradeschool together and now attend different highschools but that doesn't keep them from getting together and having fun.  Tonight they are on their way to their first highschool football game at Prep and then on to the Prep Welcome Dance.  I think they're going to have a great time this evening. :)

Highschool Here We Come!

Becca's first day of school- excuse me, highschool- is today!  Steve is going to be the one to take her to school in the mornings.  I'll miss the morning chatter but I bet they really enjoy the time together.  I took a bajillion photos of her this morning, too.  It was quite entertaining.  She, much like Lela, was a very good sport about it.

Her Profile

Back to School!

Today is Lela's first day of school!  She was up at the crack of dawn.  It was quite amusing.  We'll see how long this lasts...I bet in a week she is begging for "5 more minutes".  Becca curled her hair this morning and of course, I took a bajillion pictures.  She was a good sport.  I love this photo because it makes me smile.

Back to Normal

Steve is back to work and the facial hair is gone.  He looks like himself again. :)

My Handsome Man

Steve didn't shave while he was gone on his Sturgis trip.  He hasn't since he's gotten home yet.  I actually kind of like it.  He'll shave it once he returns to work tomorrow when his vacation is over but for now he is going to have to put up with me photographing him.  He just looks so different!

Reflections

I heart them. :)  In my first black and white film photography class at Metro here in Omaha, taught by Kally Malcom, I actually explored self portraiture through reflections as my final project.  I really enjoyed it.  Both the class and the project.  This image was not part of the project and I shot it with my digital camera.  It just made me think of Basic. :)

Broken

I still cannot bring myself to throw this lampshade away. I have too much fun photographing it.

A Mirror Image?

WoooHoooo, They're Back!

Steve, Dad, Lonnie and Joe made it back from Sturgis today! It's so awesome to see their smiles and to hear all the great stories.  I love it!  I'm so glad that they were able to make this trip, enjoy themselves and each other and made it home safe.

They Say It's Your Birthday!

Happy Birthday, AnnieBananie!  Today we celebrated my sister's birthday.  Lela made the cake.  It was awesome. Anna picked enchiladas, spinach tortellini salad and chocolate cake for her birthday meal.  It was pretty darn delish.  Best part?  Lela made her wear a crown. :D  Love you, Anna! xoxo

Buddy Boy

Buddy is our schnauzer mix.  He has long legs and likes to chatter like a greyhound when he gets excited.  Only his chattering is more like chomping.  He's a sweet boy, understands English (or so he has us believing), very loyal, sleeps with Lela every night and is a fantastic watchdog. Believe me that's what he is best at- barking.  Here is Buddy just hanging out in the bedroom.

Sitting and Staring at the Ceiling

Literally. And so I photographed it.  I found the light interesting.

Seeing Spots

It's Awfully Quiet

Just two days ago this deck was full of people.  There weren't any empty seats.

Wild Hogs

And they're off!  Today the guys left for their Sturgis trip.  Here are a few images from this morning.

My Dad's Birthday! :D

Happy Birthday, Daddy.  I love you. <3 xoxoxo

Today we celebrated my Dad's birthday with a barbeque.  It was a great time.  Lonnie, Larry and Rhozine, Michelle and Tony, Anna and Ben and even Lynette came to help celebrate his day!  Joe made it in this evening just in time for the festivities.  Tomorrow is the big day!  They all leave for Sturgis. :)  Anyway,  earlier today Lonnie and Dad went for a ride.  I snapped a quick one before they left.  This is by no means a 'perfect' picture.  It is in fact quite more a snapshot...and a technically crappy one at that....  I love it though.

My Little Miss

My Daddy's Here! :D

So Sturgis week is officially kicked off! :)  My daddy arrived in Omaha and we are happy he is here visiting.  He decided to come up a few days early.  Today, Steve and my dad decided to clean their bikes.  It was an all day affair. ;)
